I mean... Iraq literally got invaded for less than the shit that Iran has been pulling for the last decade.

Enriching uranium to a dangerous level , spreading proxies all over the region, causing sectarianism to spike wherever they go, bombing their neighbors with ballistic and UAVs to get the political leverage they need, attacking ships in the Persian Gulf, managing to drag down 3-4 Arab countries into a pool of endless corruption...etc etc.

And now they are helping Russia bomb an EU candidate.

Still, we in the USA literally stabbed Iran in the back under twice-impeached criminal defendant Donald Trump, so it’s pretty rich to talk about invading them. Best to stick to targeted sanctions and humanitarian aid to dissidents and refugees.

You bring up food points. But can you honestly say the US and Israel are not also engaged in a proxy war with them? It's been tit for tat hacking, assassinations, bombings etc. Can't assassinate their military leaders, hack their infrastructure and not expect the same back. Also, blame Trump for canceling the nuclear deal that they were obeying. Now with countries like Russia invading and bullying weaker neighbors who aren't nuclear states and not backed by NATO, places like Iran are more likely and understandably going to enrich uranium to have their own deterrent.

The next year will be very telling.
